ichael Bosse, leader of Bernstein Shur's
construction practice group, came away
from the American Bar Association's
annual meeting for construction lawyers in Florida
this past spring with an unexpected insight. A
panel discussion with the intriguing title of "Sticks,
Bricks, Bytes and Drones" put those helicopter-like
unmanned aircraft on his radar, making the point
that the growing use of drones by architects, engi-
neers and construction fi rms to gather useful data
from the air inevitably would be accompanied by
new rules and regulations governing their use.
